recoils

«At man's core there is a voice that wants him never to give in to fear. But if it is true that in general man cannot give in to fear, at the very least he postpones indefinitely the moment when he will have to confront himself with the object of his fear... when he will no longer have the assistance of reason as guaranteed by God, or when he will no longer have the assistance of God such as reason guaranteed. It is necessary to recoil, but it is necessary to leap, and perhaps one only recoils in order to leap better.»
«Revenge, at first though sweet, bitter, ere long, back on itself recoils»
«Many readers judge of the power of a book by the shock it gives their feelings /as some savage tribes determine the power of muskets by their recoil; that being considered best which fairly prostrates the purchaser.»
«People should remain unaffected by what others may say. A true man is one who overcomes the ups and downs of life with fortitude. One should not recoil before reverses of fortunes. One should bravely face them and overcome them.»
«It is hard, if not impossible, to snub a beautiful woman - they remain beautiful and the snub recoils.»
